Did anyone ever confirm this?? I have a player on the 60DL and roster expansion is tomorrow AM. Since he's technically not on my 40man (he was in the Majors prior to sustaining the injury, but 60day removes from 40man) will he be playoff eligible once removed from DL?
You've got 2 guys on the 60DL. If you pull up both of their profiles, they show as still being on the 40.
While putting a guy on the 60DL looks and acts like it removes him from the 40, what it really does under the covers is expand your 40 to 41 (or 42 in your case, since you've got two guys on the 60DL).
You should be good when he's eligible to come off the DL. As others have said, you'll only be able to add him to a playoff roster in between series.
